PRACTICE FOR INTERPORTERS
(By "REFEREE")
classic rugby encounters will take place this afternoon,
To on the Navy and Army clash in their first Triangular
Tournament meeting, and when the probable Hong Kong Inter- port fifteen meet a combined Navy-Club fifteen at the conclusion
of the Tournament match.
The Navy, who are so far undefeated in the Tournament, are favourites for to-day's encounter which will be the deciding factor in the tournament.
If the Army can repeat their excellent form of a fortnight ago, when they very nearly beat the Club, they will stand an ex- cellent chance of recording their first win. At present they hold the wooden spoon, having twice lost to the Club.
